Make a Difference – Join Our Team

Animal lovers wanted — no experience necessary!

Whether you prefer to work with pets or with people, we need your passion and your unique talents. At Longmont Humane Society, volunteers are at the heart of everything we do. From hanging out with dogs, cats, and small mammals to folding laundry and supporting our adoption team, every role plays a meaningful part in helping animals find loving homes.

No matter your background or experience level, there’s a place for you here.

Find the Right Volunteer Path for You

The first step is choosing the program that fits your age and interests:

Longer-Term Commitment:

We ask volunteers to commit to at least three months of service, with a minimum of one 2-hour shift per week. This helps create consistency for our animals and team—though we always love when volunteers choose to stay longer!

Adult Programs (18+)

Our adult volunteer programs offer a wide range of opportunities to work directly with animals or support behind-the-scenes operations that keep the shelter running smoothly.

Teen Programs (Ages 14-17)

Our teen programs are designed to build confidence, responsibility, and compassion while making a real impact on the lives of animals.

Volunteer with Children (Ages 8-13)

Younger animal lovers can get involved too! Children ages 8–13 can volunteer alongside a parent or guardian through select programs. This is a great way to introduce kids to animal care in a safe and supportive environment.

Community Service Hours (Short-Term Commitment):

For individuals completing driving-related offenses, our shelter is a great place to fulfill your required community service hours while supporting a meaningful cause.

To get started, please visit our intake desk during open hours, and our team will help you get set up.
